I want to scream it at the top of my lungs…
BIG NEWS! GLO BARS WILL OFFICIALLY BE SOLD IN A STORE!! :mrgreen:
It was so much hard work to get here and I finally got my first order today for Glo Bars to be carried in a large health food store in Thornhill, Ontario. This health food store is amazing and I couldn’t be more proud to have my bars on their shelves. However, I don’t want to jinx myself, so I am going to wait until the bars are actually on the store shelves before I tell you where they will be sold! I hope that those of you in the area will stop by next week and show your support! :) I will be revealing the exact location shortly…
Whew. Very exciting morning.
In other news, I am trying to post twice a day now. I am testing it out to see how it goes! My goal is shorter and more frequent posts. I think this will be more manageable for me rather than one huge post a day. No promises yet though! ;)
Breakfast was another Carrot Cake Green Monster. Lunch was quick, healthy, and delicious…
Amy’s Reduced-sodium Split pea soup:
Mary’s Crackers with hummus:
Red Pepper with balsamic:
High in iron—MULBERRIES!
Stems and all. ;)
I did not have time to do a health news round up while away on vacation so I thought I would put one together today to catch up on some great health links from the past week!

Tough one, eh?? :)
I picked win a race of any distance because that is probably the least likely for me. However, one of my shorter term goals is to come in the top three in my age group. I did that for my first race- a fairly small 10k- and I would like to do it again! What did you pick?
Today is another rest day for me because I am a bit sore from my 10k mock race yesterday! Need to rest up in case I end up racing this weekend… :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how far you will drive for a race! It was fun to read. I would love to organize a big race meet-up at some point. I have always wanted to run a race in San Francisco—anyone have any good races to suggest? :)
Yay!! Congratulations! :)
that is amazing news!!!!! congrats!!! you deserve all of these wonderful things happening in your life. Good things come to those who work hard! :)
First off: congrats! You totally deserve it!
The only ones that I haven’t done are qualify for boston (I need to live in the states for that, but I will get my chance soon enough) and win a race.
I’m running my first marathon in Paris this weekend and I’m so excited! Done tris, and I’m actually signed up for my first half Ironman in September!
Hi Glow,
I am so excited that you will have your bars in stores. I have been wanting to buy them. When they come out I will be able to show them on my blog. That lunch looks stellar.
If you want a good worker…I am Canadian…possibly living close somewhat to u…and I need a job :)
I have 2 university degrees in healthcare field. Am passionate about writing, nutrition, literacy, and finding the way in life!!
At a tough spot in life now, but trying to trooper thru as best I can.
Anyway, if u know of any jobs , let me know :) My industry is not doing so well with hiring and I am financially in crisis! SOrry for the novel!
I certainly don’t eat as beautifully as u…but everyone is different!
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! That is the most amazing news, ever! You’ve worked so hard for this, you definitly deserve this. :)
I read about it on your twitter! Congratulations, that’s awesome! :)
That’s SOOOO great! I’ve always wanted to try your globars after seeing them all over the blog world. They should come to the USA ;)
Congrats on getting your bars in a store- very well deserved!
Congrats! And consider doing the Nike Women’s Marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! It’s in San Francisco in October. :-)
Ohhh October would be perfecto! Thanks for the idea :)
I just registered for the random drawing for the half… got my fingers crossed!
I am so happy for you! Congratulations!! Could not happen to a more dedicated, deserving and hard working person. You really are an amazing person Angela and you have inspired me and many others on the web already. Now it is your turn to take the in store health food market by storm. Good for you and well done!!!!!!
CONGRATS! That is such huge news that your globars are going to be in a store! You should be so proud of all of the hard work you have put into your bakery! It’s incredible!
i picked 26.2 miles, because that would be such a challenge and an accomplishment for me!
CONGRATS! can’t wait for the follow up news. maybe next Glo bars in Saskatchewan? lol
I missed your post about the how far you would go. I flew to Vancouver last year to do the Grouse Grind and it was amazing! Congrats on the store thingy. If you every go peanut and almond free, that would be wonderful..unless my allergies clear up!
Good job Ange! Hard work is paying off!
test
Woo Hooooo! That is great news Angela! So happy for you – you have worked sooo hard and you deserve to be recognized for it! Can’t wait til you can get them sold here in the UK!! ;-)
How exciting Angela!!!
Congrats on the BIG news!! That’s so exciting!!!!!
I think running a marathon is the only realistic goal for me out of all those choices– there’s no way I’m skydiving EVER (terrified of heights!), and I’m pretty wimpy when it comes to biking and swimming, too, so a triathlon is out of the question, too! :D
CONGRATULATIONS!
I look forward to the day when Glo Bars are available in Toronto health food stores… actually, I look forward to the day when they’re available in all grocery stores. :)
I ask my local health food store if they stock Glo Bars every time I’m in there. I know they don’t, but I’m hoping they’ll get the hint!
Congrats! That is really wonderful! I am so excited for you!! The Glo Bars are great! I tried your variety pack and didn’t find a flavor I didn’t like!
Thanks everyone!!! Your comments really made my day :)
